    Safari on Big Sur won't load local files

    When I attempt to open a .html file from my hard drive in Safari, it fails with this error: The operation couldn't be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 1.) (kCFErrordomainCFNetwork:1) Anyone have an idea of why? It didn't happen until I upgraded to Big Sur. Catalina worked just fine.

    All iPads Is the iPad dying?

    I think the iPad is lost between the iPhone (mobility+power) and the new Macs (real pro apps, usability and productivity). If Apple launch a MacBook Pro with 5G, Catalyst may be the salvation for the iPad app developers. https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ I use iPad as a big clock.
